minimum cfm requirements

Here is the answer from the Paslode site. As you will see, it depends upon the number of nails driven per minute. The F350S is a stick nailer not a coil nailer, so the nail magazine must be reloaded about every 75 nails. If you were nailing off flooring or decking, the rate of fire would be much higher than just building walls where the gun must be moved to a new joint location. 13. What size air compressor do I need? You can use the following formula to figure out the size air compressor you need. The Number of Tools being used X the Number of Nails each tool will drive per minute X 1.2 X the Amount of Air per Shot (SCFM) at the operating pressure. This number is found on the chart in the tool schematic and parts list provided with the nailer. For example, if you have two F-350S tools each driving 20 nails per minute with the compressor set at 90 PSI you get: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .082 = 3.95. The compressor needs to deliver 3.95 CFM at 90 PSI. If you operate the tool at 120 PSI at the same rate the number will be higher: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .108 = 5.2 CFM. When selecting an air compressor be aware that as the air pressure (PSI) increases, the delivery rate (CFM) goes down. Most compressors will rate the CFM at 50 PSI and at 100 PSI.

Since it's a framing nailer and rarely used for continuous firing probably 2.5 cmf would be plenty, if worse came to worse you might need to let the compressor catch up every once in a while, I have a 6.2 cmf compressor and have never had a problem, I own 2 of these guns and they are well built and extremely reliable

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

It needs to have adequate ventilation. I believe the instructions said at least 8" around.

Dave, I'm not an engineer, so I don't speak the eng jargon. That said, The spec indicates 2200 CFM. That's in a test situation. If you plan to use the fan in a vehicle, CFM through the fan will depend on how well you seal the attaching ducting. Your real consideration would be through the radiator, however. They don't give wattage or amp draw in specs, too bad. You would have to contact the mfgr for that. I would guess five amps, but that's just a guess. I have mine fused at 15 amps. No problems yet. RE: your static pressures question, you could extrapolate from assumed 2200 at sea level and probably get pretty close.

CFM (cubic feet per minute) is a measurement of air flow velocity. PSI (pounds per square inch) is a measurement of air pressure. The necessary PSI and CFM needed will depend on the tool your using, the application and the type of paint being used. Applying paint to small figures may only require 20psi. T-shirt paint typically requires 40-60 PSI. If you want to use your compressor with a mini spray gun as well as an airbrush your going to want something with at least 1.0 CFM. Asking an expert and referring to the label on your paint are good ways to figure air pressure and flow requirements.

You probably need at least 4 to 5 cfm. That's typically for continuous use; if you only do small areas at a time and let the compressor rebuild the tank between it may be ok but painting requires lots of flow and a larger tank would also help. Your manual for the compressor will let you know the flow capacity. I have used it with a 3 gallon tank and 3 cfm compressor and it does not keep up for any usage longer than a minute or two.

Where I work we regulate the psi at 90. As far as cfm goes I am not sure. My small 5hp 30 gal. compressor at home would not be able to keep up it with the compressor running the whole time.

I doubt it. For applications that need continuous airflow you really need a larger compressor. Check the tool you want to use, which will tell you the flow rate (cubic ft per minute) for the compressor you need.

You can, but you'll need a reducer from 4" to the 2 1/2". It won't reduce your cfm's.

No. To small and low cfm.You will need a 16 to 18 inch fan that flows at least 4000cfm,or a dual fan setup.

I would suggest a unit with a higher CFM speed to better, and faster, circulate the air in your shop. I have a smaller shop so the lesser capacity is not a problem.Regards, John

I see no minimum, but the instruction booklet says there is a maximum of 60 psi.

600 CFM may be a bit much assuming yours is a fairly stock engine used for normal street driving. Go to Holley.com and click on their cab selector to find their recommendations.

The 4" duct size will not compromise the CFM rating as long as it is a short run, approximately 10' or less. For longer runs it is recommended to use the 6" duct size to maintain proper air flow and allow the motor to achieve the 110 CFM.

It really depends on how big a cut you need to take. The longer the cut, the more air you need. Check the manual and I believe it has a CFM required.

~7 cfm @ 40PSI. Real world working performance hasn't given me any indication to think otherwise.
